Notaichean a' Chlàir

2 verses of 4 lines. Greig-Duncan (vol. 6, p. 465) gives a similar version of this variant of 'The Girl I Left Behind Me'. The song is also known as 'Brighton Camp', and there are a great many broadsides in the Bodleian library collection.

N.B. The Roud Folk Song Index reference for these variants (Roud 262) also includes other distinct songs of the same title, with the first lines: "Now I am bound for a foreign land", "My parents reared me tenderly", "Come all you handsome comely maids", and "The wars are o'er, and gentle peace".
